The Real Culprit

In other news, Duke Energy has been caught intentionally dumping 61 million gallons of coal ash into the Cape Fear River. That must be very comforting to customers whose high electric bills are not, in fact, being used to run a clean and safe operation. We’re gonna charge you out the ass and then dump ash in your drinking water.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts Republicans have introduced a bill that would require you to get permission from a judge to have sex before your divorce is finalized. I got nothin’ on this other than to say what the fuck?

“Ross’ staff told ThinkProgress that the senator is “not in support” of the bill. It was filed on behalf of a constituent, Robert LeClair, as a courtesy to him.”

Sounds like LeClair had a pretty acrimonious divorce.

thankfully the idiot teabastards bill in Mass will never see the light of day. and yes there are teabastards in Mass too. Imagine what might have happened if this bill were introduced in Tennessee or any number of southern teabastard states.

I would like to petition the government for permission for Richard Ross to suck my dick.

UPDATE: Ross’ staff told ThinkProgress that the senator is “not in support” of the bill. It was filed on behalf of a constituent, Robert LeClair, as a courtesy to him. Massachusetts law allows legislators to put forth a citizen’s piece of legislation, as Ross did in this case, though there is no requirement that they do so.

“I didn’t propose legislation that makes gov’t just small enough to fit in your bedroom. Of course not. No, I just propose legislation I don’t support.”

Yeah, that’s much better.

Sheesh!

The bill is DOA already – yes there are teabastards in Massachusetts too – thankfully they are completely powerless.
